Information AboutTriband (flag) |
|
The triband is one of the most common designs of Flag , and is the design of some 30% of all current national flags. As the name suggests, the main feature of the design of a triband is three parallel bands of colour. Many non- Vexillologist s use the term Tricolour to describe these flags, but technically a tricolour is simply a type of triband. Tricolours by definition have three colours, whereas this is not the case with all tribands, which often feature two bands of the same colour separated by a band of a different colour. In its simplest form, the triband consists of three equally sized horizontal or vertical stripes and nothing else. Examples of ''horizontal tribands'' include the national flags of Austria and Germany , and examples of ''vertical tribands'' include the national flags of Nigeria and France . In each of these pairs, the second named flag is also a tricolour. More complex tribands include flags to refer to any central vertical band on a triband which is twice the size of the bands on either side. A list of national flags featuring tribands can be found at Tricolour . |
